Shabaka and the Ancestors Shabaka Akua Lumumba Kamau Hutchings (saxophone ténor) Mthunzi Mvubu (saxophone alto) Siyabonga Mthembu (voix) Ariel Zomonsky (Basse) Tumi Mogorosi (batterie) Gontse Makhene (Percussions) Playlist . Nguni (Shabaka Hutchings, Siyabonga Mthembu) . The Sea (Shabaka Hutchings) . The Observer (Shabaka Hutchings, Siyabonga Mthembu) . Joyous ((Shabaka Hutchings) . Natty (Shabaka Hutchings) . Mzwandile (Shabaka Hutchings, Siyabonga Mthembu) . Chik CHIkka (Lykaty Astatke) Refocusing jazz could be Shabaka Hutchings' mantra. The tenor saxophonist recently went to Johannesburg to soak up South African heritage and to surround himself with the country's best musicians. It led to a celebratory, spiritual sound on the vibrant Wisdom of Elders, recorded in just one day in Johannesburg. The music composed by the saxophonist is primitive, spontaneous, and unpredictable. It's infused with drummer Tumi Mogoros's polyrhythmic beats and the hypnotic sounds of singer Siyabonga Mthembu. British Shabaka Hutchings has Barbadian roots. He's been recognized as a key player on the London jazz scene for a few years now. He got noticed when he brought African and Caribbean sounds to Sons Of Kemet and by playing with the electro-cosmic sounds of The Comet Is Coming.

Soweto Kinch + NYA Virgile Lorach, bass David Monet, keyboard Romain Clerc-Renaud, Fender Rhodes Maxime Zampieri, drums Yann Cley, flute Benoît Giffard, trombone Michel Escande, percussion, machines Soweto Kinch, saxophones Nya, lyric Disque étonnant et incomparable, ' Free Speech ' de Chlorine Free est un mélange intelligent et bouillonnant d'univers musicaux et vocaux axés sur la communication et l'expérimentation, tout en mettant l'humain au centre de la démarche. Un projet excitant et intense, sans temps mort et aussi addictif qu'intrigant - Indiemusic 17 pistes qui sont autant de pépites que l'on redécouvre avec le même émerveillement à chaque nouvelle écoute. Voici un album qui vous nettoie les oreilles sans produit chloré - Djam Les apprentis chimistes de Chlorine Free remettent le couvert avec ' Free Speech ', brillant 3e album au groove complexe. L'album nous entraîne dans une déambulation au travers de paysages sonores protéiformes, contemplatifs et subtilement rythmés. Chlorine Free affirme ici encore plus en profondeur cette alchimie si particulière qui entre electronica, broken beat, jazz-funk avant-gardiste et hip-hop. Le groupe prend pleinement sa place dans ce courant musical refusant toute étiquette rébarbative et en plein essor qui, avec un esprit décloisonné, sait rassembler autour de lui des auditeurs de tous les horizons. Les invités Soweto Kinch et Nya étoffent et enrichissent la palette du groupe. Le groove hip-hop old-school de Chlorine Free porte des textes engagés dans leur troisième opus, entre hymne écolo et appel à prendre en main sa destinée. Recorded on May 11, 2018 at the Grand Auditoire, Like a jazz machine festival, Dudalange, Luxembourg TV Director, Samuel Thiebautt

'Emily is my middle name and I'm using this fresh persona as my inner navigator. This project is about going back and reclaiming un-cultivated curiosity, and using it as a compass to move forward and expand' says Spalding. 'My hope for this group is to create a world around each song... We will be staging the songs as much as we play them, using characters, video and the movement of our bodies.' Emily's D+Evolution is opening Melbourne Jazz Festival 2016 in the Forum. Recorded on June 3rd 2016 at the Forum Melbourne TV direction by Mathieu Mastin
